I'm Envious of the nice ASP.NET gradient toolbars

Hello Friends,

Its time for me to show how cool UI can be in .NET.

This is a call for help on how to create those beautiful looking gradient
tool bars like this site:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups...amework.aspnet

I would appreciate any directions on how can I find information on these.

A lot of thanks in advance to asp.net gurus,

E.V.

Well, assuming they aren't simply using images, you can achieve this using
filters. In particular, the Gradient filter:

Do you mean an HTML <table> tag with a class attribute that points to a
CSS class containing a style rule like,

background-image:url(./images/bgGradient.gif) ;

where bgGradient.gif is a 1-px wide strip with a vertical gradient fill?

Always cool, but not very cross-browser compatible. :-)

Just for completeness, in IE 5 and later you can also use VML to
do gradient fills,

I have a webform where I would like to have the background color for the webform be a gradient in blue. How do I do this? What is the easiest way? What is the way most used by other developers? Do you draw it with code or attach a .gif file as a background or what? Does one way or the other have an effect on speed? Thank You

I'm drawing a linear gradient and its very "banded". The colors are far enough part that it should be plenty smooth enough but I always get the same number of bands regardless.

How do you provide a consistent gradient fill as a background in a liquid layout? If I make a gradient fill image say 1000 pixels wide (and repeat it down the page) to suit a typical computer display, then only a small portion of the gradient will show if the viewpoint is a smaller PDA or phone display. On the other hand, if viewed full screen on a 1920 pixel wide display, I would run out of gradient on one or both sides of the page....
